Leaning against the railing, I watched the ocean. A breeze swept through, whipping my hair everywhere before it stood back up.
Having a moment to myself is nice after being constantly fussed over. And the lack of headaches is also a positive thing. Now I just have to figure out a way to beat Ghost, and then-
"It looks like you are finally using your runner again."
Whipping around, I saw the man from the garage, "Who are you?"
"You can call me Vizor."
Fighting to keep a straight face in regards to the ridiculous name, I chose instead to focus on my goal, "How do I defeat Ghost?"
His eye covering made it hard to read his expression, "It would be easier to show you, rather than tell you."
Putting on my helmet, I nodded, "Then you better show me."
Vizor's runner only had one wheel touching the ground, though it had two backup wheels so he could start in a stable position, "Are you ready, Fudo Yusei?"
"Yeah, you lead the way."
He turned his head back to look at me, "First, you have to prove that you can handle this method."
Before I knew what was happening, he shot forward at a speed I could barely track.
I really hope that Justice can handle keeping up at this speed.
Revving my engine, I shot up to the man's side, just in time for him to speed up again.
Catching up again, he shot forward, and took a sharp corner without slowing down even a little.
You have got to be kidding me. But he is definitely an expert duelist if he can do that.
I shot forward so fast my front wheel temporarily left the ground, and did my best to take the corner at the same speed. But as I went even faster, I started to lose control, and Justice was making strange sounds.
Slowing down, I nearly lost my balance, and Vizor chuckled, "If you are scared of this slow speed, then you might want to quit now."
Reaching deep inside of me, I found what's wrong with Justice and nudged it back into place with my power. As I finished, another corner came up, and I sped up again, somehow taking the corner without anything going wrong.
He turned back towards me, "Congrats, you passed my test. Are you ready to duel?"
I nodded, and pressed my button, hearing the robotic voice cheerfully announce, "Speed World 2, set on!"
"Searching dueling parameters, Central Lane selected. Permission granted."
Vizor's voice came clearly through my helmet's system, "You can take the first turn."
Nodding, I glanced at my hand, "I summon Tricular in defense mode and place a facedown."
Tricular-300
There was almost no emotion in Vizor's voice as he started his turn, "If my opponent is the only one with monsters, then I can special summon my tuner, Tech Genius Striker in attack mode."
Tech Genius Striker-800
I've never heard of Tech Genius cards before. They must be pretty new.
"Next, if I special summon a level 4 or below monster, I can special summon Tech Genius Warwolf."
Tech Genius Warwolf-1200
"My monsters tune together to create Tech Genius Gladiator!"
Tech Genius Gladiator-2300
"But since I haven't special summoned yet, I summon Tech Genius Cyber Magician."
Tech Genius Cyber Magician-0
Great, another tuner.
"When Cyber Magician is used for a synchro summon, I can use the required monsters from my hand. So I tune the Tech Genius Rush Rhino in my hand with my Magician to create Tech Genius Wonder Magician."
Tech Genius Wonder Magician-1900
Vizor seemed to finally be done summoning monsters, "Now I use my Gladiator to attack your Tricular with piercing damage!"
Life Points Yusei-2000
At that moment, I was so happy that it was Tricular on my field, "When Tricular is destroyed, Bicular is summoned in defense mode."
Bicular-200
He chuckled, "I still have Wonder Magician. And she attacks your Bicular."
"If Bicular is destroyed, Unicycular is summoned in defense mode."
Unicycular-100
The set up he has is amazing. If this is simply the solution, then I won't have any issues. If one is taken, then you always have the other one present. But let's see how he deals with the Ghost's strategy.
I drew my next card, and smirked, "I use Synchro Diffuse. This allows me to take control of one of your Synchros for the entire turn. So how about Power Gladiator?"
"How about no? Accel Synchro!"
His runner sped up even more than before, and the world went white in a bright flash.
When my vision cleared, the road in front of me was completely empty. He was nowhere to be found.
A loud blast came from behind me, and Vizor came with it, a new monster over his head.
My mind rushed as fast as his runner had gone, "What in the world?"
Finally, he was showing emotion, even if it was him smirking like he won the lottery, "Meet Tech Genius Blade Blaster."
Tech Genius Blade Blaster-3300
"How'd you summon a monster in the middle of my turn?"
Vizor's voice was filled with amusement, "It's called an Accel Synchro, and it's the answer to your problem."
"Well, I use Angel Baton, which lets me draw two cards if I discard one. Then I summon Drill Synchron in attack mode, and if I have a tuner monster on the field, I can bring Quillbolt Hedgehog back in defense mode."
Drill Synchron-800
Quillbolt Hedgehog-800
I raised up one hand to be dramatic, "I tune my mpnsters together to create Drill Warrior!"
Drill Warrior-2400
"He can cut his points in half to attack you directly!"
Drill Warrior-1200
Life Points Vizor=2800
"I place one facedown, and turn it over to you."
Vizor nodded once before starting right away, "My Blade Buster attacks your Drill Warrior!"
One of my traps flipped up, "I activate Wave Force, which destroys all monsters in attack mode if a Synchro monster is the target of an attack."
He shook his head, "My Blade Buster can negate one trap per turn as long as I send one card from my hand to the graveyard."
Life Points Yusei=1100
Another of my cards flipped up, "I activate Miracle's' Wake, which brings back one monster that was destroyed this turn."
Drill Warrior-2400
I looked at my hand, Okay, so I have Speed Energy in my hand. That would help, but I need 100 points more to defeat his monster. Come on deck, don't fail me now!
The second I saw what card I drew, I felt relief, "I activate Speed Energy, which gives one monster more points equal to my speed counters times 200. Since I have four, Drill Warrior gains 800 points."
Drill Warrior-3200
"Now, I summon Gauntlet Warrior."
Gauntlet Warrior-400
"If I release Gauntlet Warrior from the field, one monster gains 500 points."
Drill Warrior-3700
"Attack his Blade Buster!"
Vizor went silent for a moment, "Once per turn, Tech Genius Blade Buster can be removed from play."
My attack hit him directly, causing me to pause in utter shock.
Life Points Vizor=0 Defeat!
His runner nearly spun out of control, and I pulled up next to him, whipping off my helmet, "Why the heck did you do that? The duel would still be going if you hadn't done that!"
"I'm not ready to give up all of the secrets of Accel Synchro. Good luck, Fudo Yusei."
Revving his engine to restart it, he shot off, leaving me alone.
